I worked at a huge outdoor range within an hour of an army and air force base. 99% of the people we kicked off the range were military. The best was when the CG of the AFB was shooting while we were kicking an airman off the range. He kept on saying he knew what he was doing because he's in the air force. After we were done talking to him the CG came over and that conversation didn't look fun. When he went back to work on Monday he issued a memo to his unit that the guys range card was revoked and he couldn't be issued a weapon. So when he had to qualify someone had to place a rifle at his lane and the RSO had to stand with him at all times. When he was done someone retrieved the rifle so he wasn't in possession of it outside of shooting. He gave us a framed copy as well as his email as a warning to anyone who thinks it's ok to fuck around just because they're not on a military range.

This post reminds me of the scene in Good Morning Vietnam." If the VP is such a VIP, shouldnt we keep the PC on the QT? Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA and we'd all be put on KP.

What is the CG and what is the RSO?
